Nkunku's body language is that he wants to leave, but the noise coming out of his camp is that they are not sure he will get a move this window. Chelsea are asking for £65m-£75m, which is huge. via@SJohnsonSport

Mathys Tel made it clear that he doesn't want to go to Chelsea - because the competition there is just as big as in Munich. Tel wants to leave Bayern in order to play regularly. (@BILD) Chelsea have yet to formally register their interest in Alejandro Garnacho, with the sense that they are biding their time and waiting for the opportunity to strike. (@SkySports) Chelsea have the capital to spend on a signing if the opportunity presents itself and the club are willing to bide their time on Garnacho, that particular deal could down to the wire.
